Re: Ipods

Speaking of getting around the system, if a student has a smartphone / =
iPhone they do not have to have the network to chat, text, or visit web =
sites. They can access anything via the phone network. =20

Hello All-

=20

We've had a lot of students using their ipods to join our wireless
network and use apps to chat. We have a web filter that blocks the
things we want blocked (chat sites), but they use their apps to get
around it. I was just wondering if: 1. Anyone has had success blocking
ipods from joining their wireless network. 2. What are your rules and
policies regarding inappropriate use of ipods during school?
Unfortunately, teachers want their kids to still be able to listen to
music because it helps them concentrate during work time. So, of
course, it falls on the IT guys to fix the problem... Any thoughts?
